DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT First Embodiment

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a semiconductor device as a first embodiment of this invention. This semiconductor device is called a CSP, and includes a silicon substrate (semiconductor substrate) 1. An integrated circuit (not shown) is provided on the upper surface of the silicon substrate 1, and a plurality of connection pads 2 made of a metal such as an aluminum-based metal are provided on peripheral parts of the upper surface of the silicon substrate 1 so that these connection pads are electrically connected to the integrated circuit.

An insulating film 3 made of, for example, silicon oxide, is provided on the upper surfaces of the connection pads 2 except for the centers of the connection pads 2 and on the upper surface of the silicon substrate 1. The centers of the connection pads 2 are exposed via openings 4 provided in the insulating film 3. A protective film 5 made of, for example, a polyimide-based resin is provided on the upper surface of the insulating film 3. Openings 6 are provided in parts of the protective film 5 respectively corresponding to the openings 4 of the insulating film 3.

A plurality of first foundation metal layers 7 made of a metal such as copper are provided on the upper surface of the protective film 5. A wiring line 8 made of copper is provided on the entire upper surface of each of the foundation metal layers 7. One end of the foundation metal layer 7 is electrically connected to the connection pad 2 via the openings 4 and 6 of the insulating film 3 and the protective film 5, so that the wiring line 8 is electrically connected to the connection pad 2. An overcoat film 9 made of, for example, a polyimide-based resin is provided on the upper surfaces of the wiring lines 8 and the protective film 5. An opening 10 having a predetermined diameter is provided in a part of the overcoat film 9 corresponding to a connection pad portion of each of the wiring lines 8. The cross section of this opening 10, and the cross section of a projecting electrode formed later accordingly are circular in this preferred embodiment, but are not limited to the circular shape and may also have other shapes such as polygonal and elliptic shapes.

A second foundation metal layer 11 made of, for example, copper is provided on the upper surface of the connection pad portion of each of the wiring lines 8 exposed via the opening 10 of the overcoat film 9, on the entire inner peripheral surface of the opening 10 of the overcoat film 9, and on a circular part of the upper surface of the overcoat film 9 around the opening 10. A projecting electrode 12 made of copper is provided on the entire upper surface of each of the foundation metal layers 11.

In this case, each projecting electrode 12 includes a lower projecting electrode portion 12 a and an upper projecting electrode portion 12 b. The lower portion 12 a is entirely provided or filled in the opening 10 of the overcoat film 9. The upper portion 12 b is directly provided or attached on the entire upper surface of the lower portion 12 a and on the outer peripheral part of the foundation metal layer 11 on a part of the overcoat film 9 around the opening 10. A solder ball 13 is provided on the upper surface of the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b of the projecting electrode 12 including the end side face (outer peripheral end face) of the outer peripheral part of the foundation metal layer 11 provided on the overcoat film 9.

(One Example of Manufacturing Method)

One example of a method of manufacturing this semiconductor device will now be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2, an assembly is prepared wherein the connection pads 2 made of the aluminum-based metal, the insulating film 3 made of, for example, silicon oxide, and the protective film 5 made of, for example, polyimide-based resin are formed on the upper side of a silicon substrate (hereinafter referred to as a semiconductor wafer 21) in a wafer state. The centers of the connection pads 2 are exposed via the openings 4 and 6 respectively formed in the insulating film 3 and the protective film 5.

In this case, integrated circuits (not shown) having a predetermined function are formed in regions on the upper surface of the semiconductor wafer 21 where the semiconductor devices are formed, and the connection pads 2 are electrically connected to the integrated circuits formed in corresponding parts. In FIG. 2, regions indicated by a numeral 22 correspond to dicing lines.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the foundation metal layer (to be precise, this is a layer for forming the foundation metal layer 7, but this layer is also referred to as the foundation metal layer 7 for the simplification of explanation) 7 is formed on the upper surfaces of the connection pads 2 exposed via the openings 4 and 6 of the insulating film 3 and the protective film 5 and on the entire upper surface of the protective film 5. The foundation metal layer 7 may only be a copper layer formed by electroless plating, may only be a copper layer formed by sputtering, or may be a copper layer formed by sputtering on a thin film layer such as titanium formed by sputtering.

Next, a plating resist film 23 is formed on the upper surface of the foundation metal layer 7, by patterning of a resist film. In this case, an opening 24 is formed in the plating resist film 23 in a part corresponding to a region where the wiring line 8 is to be formed. Then, electrolytic plating with copper is carried out using the foundation metal layer 7 as a plating current path, thereby forming the wiring lines 8 on the upper surface of the foundation metal layer 7 in the openings 24 of the plating resist film 23. Subsequently, the plating resist film 23 is entirely removed, and then the parts of the foundation metal layer 7 in regions which are not under the wiring line 8 are etched and thus removed, by using the wiring lines 8 as a mask. Thus, the foundation metal layer 7 remains under each of the wiring lines 8 alone, as shown in FIG. 4.

Next, the overcoat film 9 made of, for example, a polyimide-based resin is formed on the upper surfaces of the wiring lines 8 and the protective film 5 by, for example, a spin coat method or a transfer molding method. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the openings or through holes 10 are formed in parts of the overcoat film 9 corresponding to the connection pad portions or inner side portions of the wiring lines 8 by a photolithographic method to expose the connection pad portions.

Next, the second foundation metal layer (to be precise, this is a layer for forming the foundation metal layer 11, but this layer is also referred to as the foundation metal layer 11 for the simplification of explanation) 11 is formed by, for example, the sputtering of copper on the upper surface of the connection pad portion of each of the wiring lines 8 exposed via the opening 10 of the overcoat film 9 and on the entire upper surface of the overcoat film 9. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, a plating resist film 25 is formed/patterned on the upper surface of the foundation metal layer 11.

In this case, an opening 26 having a cross section slightly larger than that of the opening 10 of the overcoat film 9 is formed concentrically with each of the openings 10 in a part of the plating resist film 25 corresponding to a region where the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b of the projecting electrode 12 is to be formed. The opening 26 of the plating resist film 25 is set to be slightly larger than the opening 10 of the overcoat film 9 because alignment accuracy for forming the openings 10 and 26 is considered.

Next, electrolytic plating with copper is carried out, by using the foundation metal layer 11 as a plating current path, such that the lower projecting electrode portion 12 a is formed on a part of the foundation metal layer 11 in each of the openings 10 of the overcoat film 9 to completely fill the opening 10. Then, the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b is formed, by an electrolytic plating method, on the lower projecting electrode portion 12 a in the opening 26 of the plating resist film 25 and on a circular part of the foundation metal layer 11.

In this case, since the opening 26 of the plating resist film 25 is slightly larger than the opening 10 of the overcoat film 9, plating is isotropically deposited in each of the openings 26 of the plating resist film 25. Therefore, the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b formed in the opening 26 of the plating resist film 25 is shaped with a bulging center. Thus, the projecting electrode 12 composed of the lower portion 12 a and the upper portion 12 b is formed.

Next, the plating resist film 25 is entirely removed. Then the projecting electrodes 12 are used as a mask to etch and remove parts of the foundation metal layer 11 in regions which are not under the projecting electrodes 12, such that the foundation metal layers 11 remain under the projecting electrodes 12 alone, as shown in FIG. 7. Subsequently, a flux (not shown) is applied onto the upper surface of the upper portion 12 b of each of the projecting electrodes 12 by a screen printing method, and a solder ball (not shown) is then mounted on the upper surface of the flux.

Next, after a reflow process, the solder ball mounted on the upper surface of the flux is melted, and then rounded and solidified by surface tension, such that the solder ball 13 of a substantially spherical or semi-spherical shape is formed on the upper surface of the upper portion 12 b of each of the projecting electrodes 12 including the end face of the foundation metal layer 11 formed on the upper surface of the overcoat film 9, as shown in FIG. 8. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the semiconductor wafer 21, the insulating film 3, the protective film 5 and the overcoat film 9 are cut along the dicing lines 22, thereby obtaining a plurality of semiconductor devices shown in FIG. 1.

As described above, in one example of the method of manufacturing this semiconductor device, the overcoat film 9 having the opening 10 in the part corresponding to the connection pad portion of each of the wiring lines 8 is formed on the wiring line 8 and the protective film 5, and the projecting electrode 12 is formed by electrolytic plating on the connection pad portion of the wiring line 8 in each of the openings 10 of the overcoat film 9, such that there is no longer a need for a special process of grinding.

A semiconductor device manufacturing method described in Jpn. Pat. Appln. KOKAI Publication No. 2006-229113 mentioned above is explained with reference to FIG. 3. In this method, the plating resist film 23 is released, and a projecting electrode forming plating resist film having an opening in a part corresponding to the connection pad portion of the wiring line 8 is formed on the upper surface of the foundation metal layer 7 including the wiring line 8. Then, electrolytic plating using the foundation metal layer 7 as a plating current path is carried out to form a projecting electrode on the upper surface of the connection pad portion of the wiring line 8 in the opening of the projecting electrode forming plating resist film. Further, the projecting electrode forming plating resist film is released using a resist releasing solution, and the wiring line 8 is used as a mask to etch and remove the foundation metal layer 7 in regions which are not under the wiring line 8.

In the semiconductor device manufacturing method described in the above patent document, if a dry film resist is used as the projecting electrode forming plating resist film, the projecting electrode forming plating resist film is released mainly from its upper surface side when released with the resist releasing solution, so that a smaller distance between the wiring lines may lead to the production of resist residual between the wiring lines. This resist residual acts as a mask and causes an etching failure when the foundation metal layer is etched using the wiring line as a mask, leading to a short circuit between the wiring lines.

On the other hand, in one example of the method of manufacturing the semiconductor device described above, the overcoat film 9 is formed on the upper surfaces of the wiring line 8 and the protective film 5, and the plating resist film 25 is formed on the upper surface of the foundation metal layer 11 formed on the entire upper surface of the overcoat film 9, such that there is no room for the plating resist film 25 to come between the wiring lines 8, and the resist residual can be prevented from being easily produced when the plating resist film 25 is released.

(Another Example of Manufacturing Method)

Another example of the method of manufacturing the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 1 will now be described. First, in a step as shown in FIG. 6, a plating resist film 31 is patterned/formed on the upper surface of the foundation metal layer 11, as shown in FIG. 10. In this case, the thickness of the plating resist film 31 is somewhat larger than the thickness of the plating resist film 25 shown in FIG. 6. Moreover, an opening 32 is formed in a part of the plating resist film 31 corresponding to a region where the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b of the projecting electrode 12 is formed.

Next, electrolytic plating with copper is carried out using the foundation metal layer 11 as a plating current path such that the lower projecting electrode portion 12 a is formed on the foundation metal layer 11 in the opening 10 of the overcoat film 9, and the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b is then formed on the lower projecting electrode portion 12 a in the opening 32 of the plating resist film 31 and on the partial upper surface of the foundation metal layer 11. Thus, the projecting electrode 12 composed of the lower projecting electrode portion 12 a and the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b is formed.

Next, electrolytic plating with solder is carried out using the foundation metal layer 11 as a plating current path such that a solder ball forming solder layer 13 a is formed on the upper surface of the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b of the projecting electrode 12 in the opening 32 of the plating resist film 31. It will be appreciated that this method can omit the flux application step and solder ball mounting step in one example of the semiconductor device manufacturing method described above.

Next, the plating resist film 31 is released, and the solder ball forming solder layer 13 a is used as a mask to etch and remove the foundation metal layer 11 in regions which are not under the solder ball forming solder layer 13 a, such that the foundation metal layer 11 only remains under the projecting electrode 12 under the solder ball forming solder layer 13 a, as shown in FIG. 11.

Next, after a reflow process, the solder ball forming solder layer 13 a is melted, and then rounded and solidified by surface tension, such that the solder ball 13 is formed on the upper surface of the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b of the projecting electrode 12 including the end face of the foundation metal layer 11 formed on the upper surface of the overcoat film 9, as shown in FIG. 8. Subsequent steps are the same as those in one example of the semiconductor device manufacturing method described above and are therefore not described.

Here, one example of the dimensions of parts of the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 1 is explained. The thickness of the protective film 5 is 2 to 10 μm. The thickness of the copper layer of the foundation metal layer 7, 11 is 0.3 to 1 μm. The thickness of the wiring line 8 is 1 to 20 μm, and is preferably 3 to 8 μm. The thickness of the overcoat film 9 is 20 to 120 μm, and is preferably 30 to 80 μm, but may be relatively large and 100 to 120 μm. The diameter of the opening 10 of the overcoat film 9 is 80 to 300 μm, but may be 20 to 200 μm, for example, when the diameter of the lower projecting electrode portion 12 a of the projecting electrode 12 is small due to the miniaturization of the wiring line 8 as described later with reference to FIG. 12. The height of the upper portion 12 b of the projecting electrode 12 is 10 μm or less with reference to the upper surface of the overcoat film 9. That is, a distance between the top of the electrode 12 and the upper surface of the overcoat film 9 is 10 μm or less.

In the case of the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 1 described above, the projecting electrode 12 is structured to have the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b on the lower projecting electrode portion 12 a, and the height of the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b is 10 μm or less with reference to the upper surface of the overcoat film 9, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the projecting electrode 12 may be structured to only have the lower projecting electrode portion 12 a whose upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the overcoat film 9. However, forming such flush surfaces is relatively difficult in terms of a process, so that the projecting electrode 12 may rather project to some degree, for example, 10 μm or less toward the upper side of the overcoat film 9 as described above.

Second Embodiment

FIG. 12 is a sectional view of a semiconductor device as a second embodiment of this invention. This semiconductor device is different from the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 1 in that, in a projecting electrode 12, the diameter of a lower projecting electrode portion 12 a (part in an opening 10 of an overcoat film 9) is somewhat smaller while the diameter of an upper projecting electrode portion 12 b remains the same.

In such a case, in contrast with the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 1, when the pitch of the projecting electrodes 12 is constant, the diameter of the lower projecting electrode portion 12 a (thus the opening 10 of the overcoat film 9) can be reduced to some extent, and the diameter of a connection pad portion of a wiring line 8 (including a foundation metal layer 7) serving as a support of the lower projecting electrode portion 12 a can be reduced to some extent even if the diameter of the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b serving as a support of a solder ball 13 remains the same. Thus, the distance between the connection pad portions of the wiring lines 8 can be increased, so that the number of drawn wire portions of the wiring lines 8 that can be disposed between the connection pad portions of the wiring lines 8 can be increased, or, for example, the width of the drawn wire portion of the wiring line 8 can be designed with a margin.

Third Embodiment

FIG. 13 shows a sectional view of a semiconductor device as a third embodiment of this invention. This semiconductor device is different from the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 12 in that the height of an upper projecting electrode portion 12 b of a projecting electrode 12 is increased and the area of junction between a solder ball 13 formed on the surface of the upper portion 12 b and the upper portion 12 b is increased, while the substantial diameter of the solder ball 13 remains the same (that is, substantially same diameter as that in the first and second embodiments). In such a case, since the area of junction or interface between the solder ball 13 and the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b can be larger, the strength of junction of the solder ball 13 with the upper portion 12 b (that is, the electrode 12) can be increased.

One example of a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 13 will now be described. In this case, in a step as shown in FIG. 14 corresponding to FIG. 10, the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b is formed in a circular opening 32 of a thick plating resist film 31 so that its height may be 20 to 200 μm, preferably 30 to 80 μm, and a solder ball forming solder layer 13 a is formed on the upper portion 12 b so that its height (thickness) may be 10 to 100 μm, preferably 20 to 50 μm.

Next, the plating resist film 31 is entirely removed, and the solder ball forming solder layers 13 a are used as a mask to etch and remove a foundation metal layer 11 in regions which are not under the solder ball forming solder layers 13 a, such that the foundation metal layer 11 only remains under the projecting electrode 12 under the solder ball forming solder layer 13 a, as shown in FIG. 15. Then, a plurality of semiconductor devices shown in FIG. 13 are obtained through a reflow process and a dicing step.

Fourth Embodiment

FIG. 16 is a sectional view of a semiconductor device as a fourth embodiment of this invention. This semiconductor device is different from the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 13 in that a solder ball 13 is omitted and alternately a surface treated layer 14 is formed on the upper surface of an upper portion 12 b of a projecting electrode 12. In this case, for example, in a step as shown in FIG. 14, electrolytic plating with nickel and gold is successively carried out using the foundation metal layer 11 as a plating current path such that the surface treated layer 14 of a two-layer structure including nickel and gold is formed on the upper surface of the upper projecting electrode portion 12 b in an opening 32 of a plating resist film 31. This surface treated layer 14 prevents, for example, the oxidation of the projecting electrode, and keeps good electric contact between the projecting electrode and an electrode, for example, a solder ball of another electric component which is electrically connected to this semiconductor device.
